So while I was sorting through all this detritus in the shop, I came across something I'd forgotten I even had: One of Willie Nelson's guitar picks. I gave it to my dad, and I think I might have finally impressed him...

Long day today! Whew!

The last pedal I made that really pissed me off was a tremolo pedal, and a very cool one. Fairly simple, really, but gave you tons of control, five knobs for rate, spacing, etc. But it sounds muddy. I can't get it so that turning it on doesn't cut the volume or change the tone. And it's just an op-amp circuit driven by a light-dependent resistor, nothing complicated. I need to try different LDR and/or optocouplers, I guess.

In fact I have built a Univibe clone, and it kicks major ass. So cool. I totally love that sound, I crank up and put on my germanium fuzz and plink out the openign to Machine Gun or Bridge of Sighs and it sounds so killer. I built an Easy Vibe, rather than a semi-exact clone, which needs a complicated power supply. Worthwhile pedal.

happy birthday! biggrin

I've spent the last few days laying on a heating pad, and I doubled up on prednisone and ibuprofen and it seems to have done the trick: I'm getting around a LOT better now. I was able to bend down and tie my shoes, so I figured I was ready to go outside. The weather today was absolutely perfect!! 80 degrees, light winds, the air...

Back problems are the one thing that I hear will humble a man - quickly. I hope this clears up fast, especially if it's the kind of thing that will keep you off your bikes.
toothpickmoe:
Oh, no fun. No fun at all. I have a bit of a trick back, so I feel your pain.

And thank you for the birthday greetings. smile

Hey, if you hear of any beads on a cheap, but good bike in Colorado, give me a shout. I'm itching to get my hands on one.

Terrible nightmares last night, the kind that haunt you hours after you wake up.

All my joints are swollen today. I've sat here for two hours, typing until my fingers sorta work. Here in a little bit I'll get up and fix myself something to eat, then I might venture outside to see if I can further my progress on the various projects I have...

Yay for recycling! You're absolutley right about copper prices buddy, could be a nice little next egg that you've found yourslelf there. It's a shame that the solar system felll into disrepair though. Hey, that's kind if a Freudian slip. I mean't, your home solar heating system, but it kind holds true for the sun and it's (eight is it now?) planets too, i think. wink

What's with the swelling? Is that a side effect of meds? Anyway, hopin' it clears up soon...

The only bad dreams i have are the ones that start when i wake up at 6.30am Mon-Friday...they last until about 7pm. whatever

Anyway, take care dude,
spk soon,
mark. wink smile

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, some times I get over whelmed with all the journals I need to read and forget about replying to some comments.

If you like old guitars I have a pretty old one, it's an Ovation breadwinner I think, i think It is a 74 model, I do know it was from the first year they made them, have you ever heard of that one. I wish I could get the will to play again.

Well I really do want to go to grad school, but what if I can't get in, what if no school will have me.

That is a cute video.

I wish I knew how to take videos so I could post some of Dust Bunny.

I like that photo of you in the suit. Very handsome.

I've been working my ass off these last few days, moving boxes and shit around. I'm setting my guitar shop up in my dad's wood shop. I've had to do a lot of organizing to make room for my work bench and all my tools. It's a tricky thing, I don't want to alienate my dad. I'm not wanting to take over his shop, I...

DEAR OKLAHOMA CITY...

We are extremely sorry for any inconvenience caused by tonight's performance cancellation (Sat, 4/14). Canceling a show is not at all a usual practice for Neko and the band. Unfortunately, it was the only option given the technical difficulties that could not be overcome. We're going to reschedule another date in OKC as soon as possible. THANK YOU to all of the...

Vonnegut is one of those people I'm always thinking about reading, but never get around to it... not enough time, money, all the same old lame excuses.

Don't be a pussy!

Quick survey for the girls.

Do you ever use the phrase, "don't be a pussy"?
Does it offend you to hear one guy call another guy a pussy?
Do you feel that it devalues your genitalia?

My wife informed me, just tonight, that she doesn't find the word "pussy" to be offensive at all. I didn't ask about the C-word.

hope_114:
I love the looks I get if someone over hears me saying something about my friend being a pussy... most people dont know her name cause thats all i call her... haha... most words dont bother me.. until you use them in reference to me... but I get pissed if you say my name with attitude... thats just me though... ARRR!!!
